Cardassians! Most of them are from @kaelio‘s amazing DS9 fic “Restore, Remake, & Rebuild”:

1) a young lady named Rekot following some very exciting happenings on social media

2) Vekila, a woman with A Lot of emotions

3) Rekot again, wearing a hairstyle described as looking like a coiled-up bowticka (a centipede-like creature)

4) two random Cardassians! They’re not from RRR. I don’t know who they are. Not to slutshame them, but those necklines are a little spicy.

Introducing the Cardassian Cobras!

All the way from New Cardassia, this mean team is known for stealing and occupying bases 😉. Using their tails as a counterbalance and extra momentum, they are fierce batters who will hit a home run if you offer anything other than a wicked curve ball!

I just had to make a reference to the famous Dukat image with the baseball.

Had so much fun drawing this team!

Just saw a post saying it’s a sin we never got to see Data with his shirt off. Which I agree!

But also this is how I feel about Garak. Sigh. Idk why he would have been shirtless in any particular scene, but did Jim Kirk ever need a reason? I rest my case.

On the one hand? I agree. But on the other hand there is the problem of lizard aliens probably not having tits, thus making a shirtless scene played by human actors (humans, of course, being b'tiddied), and the makeup team being likely to just hand-wave it, which would make me very sad. So I find it nice that they never tried bc that way any shirtless scene in my head won’t be spoiled by a bad one that actually happened

This is a fair point. Altho! They are mammalian reptiles as I understand it, so they do have breasts.

Exhibit A:

Plus they at least have to be able to have children with the obviously mammalian Bajorans, which seems much more likely if they are a sort of mammal/reptile hybrid. Which honestly, is only our attempt to apply Earth terminology to an alien species. They really aren’t mammals or reptiles because they did not evolve here.

But the argument that it would put undue stress on the makeup artists and the actors is valid and likely the reason we never see shirtless Cardassians. But I still want it, because I am selfish and greedy lmao And no matter how much excellent art I see, it would be very satisfying for me personally to see how they would look in canon.

EDIT: To add that I totally get not wanting a headcanon spoiled by subpar canon. That is absolutely valid.
